This isn’t exactly fast-breaking news, but since I wrote a long post last year about the Lori Drew case and then noted the judge’s decision to rescind her conviction, I wanted to point out that the judge has now issued a written opinion explaining his reasoning. Eric Goldman has some cogent analysis. Like Eric, I wish the judge had avoided some tangential commentary that could cause mischief later, but at least the decision prevents the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act from being misused.
